GeographyNeighboring districts are, from the north clockwise, Chiang Klang, Thung Chang, Chaloem Phra Kiat, Bo Kluea, Santi Suk, and Tha Wang Pha. Doi Phu Kha National Park is Thailand's largest national park, covering several districts of Nan Province. The national park office as well as the 1,980 m high Doi Phu Kha in the Luang Prabang Range itself are within Pua District.[1]{{wide image|2014 1120 Pua District dirt road.jpg|1545px|Paddy fields in Pua District during the rice harvest, with the forested hills and mountains of Doi Phu Kha National Park in the background}}AdministrationCentral administrationPua is divided into 12 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 107 administrative villages (mubans).
Local administrationThere are two sub-district municipalities (thesaban tambons) in the district:
There are 10 sub-district administrative organizations (SAO) in the district:
EconomyPua District is heavily agricultural. It is a significant maize-growing area. Farmer's zeal to clear more land for maize cultivation has led to deforestation of vast tracts of hillsides, resulting in "bald mountains" ({{Lang-th|เขา้หัวล้าน}}; {{Rtgs|khao hua lan}}). A by-product of the land clearing is smoke from field burning, contributing to the northern region's significant air pollution. Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group, Thailand's largest agro-industrial and food conglomerate, and the leading purchaser of Pua District maize, in March 2016 announced an "agricultural social enterprise" to steer district villagers away from maize farming. CP Group has incurred criticism for the way it purchases maize harvests for animal feed from farmers in Nan and other provinces. Suphachai Chearavanont, vice-chairman of CP Group, said that corn planters will be encouraged to grow cash crops such as coffee, which requires less farmland and makes a higher profit than maize. Not only will this address the bald-mountain problem, he said, but it will also help reduce the spring haze in the north which is caused by slash-and-burn practices to prepare land for the next maize season. Mr Suphachai said crops like coffee take about three-and-a-half years to show a yield, but stated that CP Group would stand by farmers and provide assistance in the meantime.[3] GalleryReferences1. ^ ดร.กระมล ทองธรรมชาติ และคณะ, สังคมศึกษา ศาสนาและวัฒนธรรม ม.1, สำนักพิมพ์ อักษรเจริญทัศน์ อจท. จำกัด, 2548, หน้า 24-25 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://stat.dopa.go.th/stat/statnew/statTDD/views/showDistrictData.php?statType=1&year=58&rcode=55|publisher=Department of Provincial Administration|title=Population statistics 2015|language=Thai|accessdate=2016-06-09}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Charoensuthipan|first1=Penchan|title=CP stung by bald mountain accusations|url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/business/news/912092/cp-stung-by-bald-mountain-accusations|accessdate=28 March 2016|work=Bangkok Post|date=2016-03-28}} External links{{commonscat}}
